I’ve been on Reddit for too long. I was waiting for someone to drop an article on how the average American fist was smaller back in the 1960’s or something

He’s not really desperate for “trade deals”. He just needs to collect any income from the tariffs that he can to fund the “sovereign fund”. We should also ignore the fact that nobody knows exactly where this sovereign fund is, the current balance, or who or what it is being “invested” in.

Chapter 11? Real talk tho, the idea is to gauge the other side’s perceived weakness or confidence. You could deduce how comfortable someone is in their own position by testing their response to some insane proposal. Does it work? meh, it’s not the best option; but once in timeline it might.

It is true, coal burning in the U.S. has been all but replaced by liquid natural gas (LNG) and coal simply cannot compete. Coal is still an export tho. India is a huge importer and the EU has increased imports recently. But… importers of U.S. coal will very likely tariff it in response, lol

Btw… this is all BEFORE the Q1 report that should come out sometime next month. It will be the first full quarter of global sales since the election began and has a good chance to be a bloodbath of a report.

“One that is resilient, that breaks down barriers between provinces and territories, and that is diversified in global trade." “Diversified” is a very telling choice of words here. Our trade allies are preparing to leave and, honestly, it was inevitable.

Not easily, no. First, there is a distinction between enforcement of tax collections and what the administration does with the money. The only clear way out would be secession, and that is a sticky and difficult process. I predict we will see honest blue state secession proposals by next year.

The real “buried lead” in the move was removal of the $800 de minimis rule. USPS stopping packages was irrelevant, some major retail services (Amazon, Temu, SHEIN…) are now cooked. Many people don’t realize there were U.S jobs that sprung up around processing de minimis packages - also cooked

I have a crazy theory… TikTok feels “dumb” lately. Almost like the algorithm is broken or completely missing. My guess is TT/ByteDance removed their IP (algorithms) in the shutdown. Now they will sell the U.S the broken, leftover parts for way more than it would ever be worth in real life.

Billionaire founders don’t TRY to make more money it just happens. They are taking a slice of a pie that is bigger or smaller each time; but they don’t care. The REST of the people sharing that pie absolutely care, so THEY drive the revenue gains and dipshit gets a larger slice of pie for nothing.

Well the thing to understand about government is it relies on subject matter experts with experience spanning multiple admins. Without them, it quickly shakes itself apart. The goal of a Schedule F reclass is to push those people out. Now, even if agencies get funded, they will fail to operate.

Look, if you just want to read Oprah picks or autobiographies from the latest political outsider or Trump shill, you do you. EVERY bookstore has to focus on mainstream content or the lights may go off. Finding works “outside of the template” in a bookstore is just what you said… pure chance.

Yep, I get it, you are talking about the likelihood of the event itself happening (fake->exposed->still believers) and I totally agree, it’s not as far fetched as it should be 🫶🏻

I don’t think faking it is possible for the U.S. Even great AI videos “proving” it will be exposed. A “billion Chinese”, and their government, would expose it immediately. Even if it were true, only the basic Americans among us will believe; everyone else…

Okay, did it. Saw a bunch of bird flu articles. Do NOT see anything that associated bird flu egg prices. At least nothing that would change my opinion on their lack of reporting of how bird flu affected egg pricing.

Look, if I had written this story, all of this swag and these useless coins in digital wallets, would be “markers” that grant favor within the party. All at various levels of value. A red hat may get you to the front of a line. The shoes? Maybe a low-end job. That’s just good storytelling though.

Yes. But rather than “a coffee shop with a playground” you have to start looking at it the other way… a cool playground with awesome adult amenities to the sides. Parents are going to the playground regardless, you are pulling them to YOUR playground with the value adds.

This case feels a bit weak though. I mean volume pricing has been around forever, so there better be a lot more to the story if they expect to win.
